American. This Variety is most suited to the southern and south- 

 western States, where it is a most delicious fruit ; but grown at the 

 north, it is one of the most valuable for preserving in brandy, and 

 always commands- a high price therefor. Tree, vigorous, moderate 

 bearer ; flowers, small ; glands, reniform ; fruit, large, oval ; suture, 

 moderate, swollen point small ; skin, downy, greenish white, be- 

 coming a creamy white when fully ripe, rarely a purplish tinged 

 cheek ; flesh, white to the stone, moderately firm, sweet and rich. 

 Season, middle of September. Freestone. 



MALTA. 



Peche Malte, I Italian, 



Malte de Normandie, | Belle de Paris. 



Foreign. The true Malta is less known than a spurious sort hav- 

 ing globose glands, which is most generally grown. The true Malta 

 is a delicious fruit for the private garden, but not desirable for mar- 

 keting ; flowers, large ; leaves, serrated, without glands ; fruit, above 

 medium, roundish, flattened, with a broad, shallow suture on one 

 side ; skin, pale, dull green, marked on the sunny side with broken 

 spots and blotches of dull purple ; flesh, greenish, with a little dark 

 red at the stone, very juicy arid melting, rich, vinous, delicious flavor. 

 Season, last of August. Freestone.

Motteux's, 



Foreign. An old variety, the trees of which have proved suc- 

 cessful wherever grown. Moderate, regular bearer. Flowers, small ; 

 glands, globose ; fruit, large, roundish, inclining to oval ; suture, 

 bold, apparently making two halves of the fruit a swollen point at 

 apex ; skin, yellowish green, with a cheek of two shades of red, 

 mingled, or marbled ; flesh, greenish white, juicy, melting, delicate, 

 delicious flavor. Season, about 20th September. Freestone. We 

 have often seen the foregoing named fruit, the Malta, under this 

 name.
